We've done this topic for smells. (Hi, Marissa. :wavey: ) Now list the sounds that you love or hate.

I'm listening to a car alarm at the moment. :rolleyes:

Favorites:
- Mac voices, especially Stevie's, and Ella Fitzgerald's as well
- The ocean
- Running/falling water

Least Favorites:
- car alarms, sirens

- Jake

Favorites:
Any water sound, especially ocean waves and rain
Harps
Snow falling (Not a sound, I know, but it's so tranquil and quiet)
Church bells


Least Favorites:
Screeching birds, especially in the AM
Jarring alarm clock sounds
Fingernails on a chalkboard
Programmed songs on keyboards (from a kid I used to babysit who kept this annoying song playing all day)

Edit: How could I forget thunder? I'm easily startled, so I hate it.

Somehow you reminded me of a couple.
- The opening beats of Stand Back live as a favorite
- The noise of a crowded schoolbus as a least favorite (WORSE than nails on a chalkboard, IMO)


- Jake

wow...those are three of my favorite sounds as well :D In fact I'm looking for a cool fountain that I can put in my new house in Rochester :)

More favorites:

-My nephew's laughter
-rain on windows
-the roar of lions
-this really cute noise our dog Baily used to make when she was happy to see us :)

Least favorites:

-loud music that is not my own...like a neighbor's or something..
-bass from some evil source that cannot be drowned out
-Mariah Carey's voice
-hacking/phlegmy coughs
-crying babies
-the sound of typing..it really gets on my nerves...

These are right on.
And you reminded me, I hate when people yawn with their voices! Hate hate hate.

And tell me you didn't buy a house. Will you have roommates?

- Jake

Least favorite addition:
Really perky & lengthy TV show theme songs. :distress:
Think of the old horrid TGIF shows on ABC.

- Jake

Favorites:

THE AIR CONDITIONER- Come summertime I get addicted tot he soothing sound of the air conditioner- and when it starts to get cooler and I can't use it, I get Ac withdrawl and have a hard time falling asleep for awhile

the Rain- as long as thunder doesn't accmompany it.
.
The GUITAR- I just love anyone playing the guitar, perferebly GOOD duitar players like Lindsey, Peter, Bob, Eric Clapton etc. but really any joe smoe can just start randomly strumming a guitar and I'd love it.


BAD sound.

Thunder- seriously how do people sleep through thunderstorms, to me I feel like we're being bombed when it Thunders.

A BAsketball Bouncing- OK this is a real weird one. But It doesn't bother me AT AL if I'm like playing basketball or even watching basketball. The only time it bugs me is when I'm like inside my house sleeping and I can hear the sound of someone bouncing a basketball. It freaking DRIVES ME NUTS then. It's the most annoying thing. But like I said it's only under certain circumstances.

Snoring- I've heard I'm a bad snorer but frankly I don't care If i be snoring just don't you be snoring. I can't hear me :laugh:

Favorites - -
Thunder (Rain)
Guitars
Snow Falling
Good Clasic Rock! (I know not a type of sound_
Crowds at a concert!

Hates - - -(OMG there are some many, Where to begin)
CRYING BABIES!
BIRDS!
computer noises
annoying game music
Rap (yes a again!)

Favourite sounds:

- good music (especially Fleetwood Mac :) )
- rain / ocean
- purr (the sound a cat makes when he's happy)

Least Favourites:

- car horn and/or alarm
- yelling
- crying
- bad music

Favorite Sounds:

I like Hawkeye's choice on the air conditioner. Only mine can rattle and it convieniently happens in the middle of the night. When it's quiet, it's a nice sound.

Thunderstorms: They never scared me as a child. I actually would watch the lightning and just be amazed.

The sound of falling rain: it helps me write. Seriously, it does.

Typing: Sorry DrummerDeanna :D . I love the sound, mostly because I associate it with my writing.

Least Favorite Sounds:
Crying babies

People screaming

A cacophony of just plain noise you can't escape (like my former job)

Warning: don't read this if you're eating.
Someone vomiting: I'll be the first one to mention this. I just hate it to death.

Fave:
My neice laughing
Thunder
music (any except rap...not even music)
Rain on my windowsil

Least Fave:
my neice crying
my car when it wont start :mad:
those stupid car alarms, that go off when the wind blows, and the person that owns the car never hears it, because they are inside some building...grr

Favorites:
- Thunderstorms/Rain
- Really good harmonies. AKA The Farmer's Daughter
- A beach - birds, the ocean, breezes. All that stuff.

Hate:
- Crying babies and anything related to them. I hate kids. -_-
And that's all I can think of. I bet I'm forgetting something. Or just not thinking enough.

Love...
-thunderstorms/rain
-the ocean
-vocal harmonies of the La Nicks backing vocalist variety (yes Greg, I <3 STAAAN BAAAA!!!)
-acoustic guitar
-English accents

Hate...
-Jake's voice (hi nerd :wavey: )
-certain celebrities (i.e. Fran Drescher)
-South Philadelphia accents
-any sound that replicates nails on a chalkboard
-small children

I think I figured out why I don't like Jana on that song. When she sings the "Back" part, she always tilts her head to the side and her mouth's shaped really weird. It bugs me.

But I'm fine with anything Elisecia wants to do! :D

:eek:

Aww...Sharon and Jana are hardcore into it..especially Jana and I still maintain, I like the vocals. Will you have backing vocal love for me even if I look funny when I sing??? :D

I like the bkg vocals on some of the songs, too. Just not Stand Back.

And to the latter? Maybe. :P

Better watch it...you might get WINDSOCK'D! :shocked: <333

HoOooNooOoO. Would this be by you or one of the Background Swayers?

I don't know why I don't like the Background Swayers that much. They just bug me. Except Elisecia. She was five by five with me. <3

HooooNooOOo...not I. I wouldn't put the Background Swayers through that either. :sorry:

Aww...c'mon...Sharon? Lori? Mindy? Psh. What did Elisecia do? Look, she's not even special enough for her page...it's been COMING SOON for a year. Even Jana, the new girl, got a page before her :cool:

What's so good about her!? The Tina Turner hair, the cut-off lace gloves, the non-swaying (she swayed some, from what I can see on the DVDs I have, but she danced a lot in Red Rocks. TITN's when she swayed the whole time I think), her HAEWAFY gospeling, the SASS. Best backup singer ever.

And you just haaad to bring up the backup singers page, didn't you. -_- You can't see me, but I'm shaking my fist at you. Or at least in your general direction.™

Tiff...where are you with the Sharon Celani backing vocals love™ when I need you?!?!? Greg. She can have all the sass she wants. Where's she now? HUH?!

Sharon sorta bugs me, too, but I can't pinpoint exactly why. I like her sometimes, but other times? Eh.

... I'm going to pretend you didn't ask that. I'm just wondering why Elisecia never gets any love. :( If my friend Bob were here, he'd back me up with some Elisecia love. Hmf.

OHMAHGAH. I? Am going to pretend you didn't say that. I'm wondering why you ONLY HAVE LOVE FOR ELISECIA. Sheesh.

Bob isn't here....psh.

Hee. :wavey:

& I just told you in IM that I have love for the RAL backup singers:

Greg: if I had to pick three?
Greg: er. who was that other one.
Greg: that one on the RAL tour.
Greg: what's her face.
Greg: Lori?
Riss: oui
Greg: I liked those three. Sharon, Lori, Elisecia.
Riss: Lori Perry Nicks.
Greg: thems my fly girls right thurr.
Riss: lol
Greg: cuz you have Always On-Key Sharona.™
Greg: Sassy Gospel Elisecia
Greg: and Plain Jane Lori.

Da da, my friend. Da. Da.

That conversation occured AFTER I posted that. Don't make me bust out AOL IM timestamp. Hmpfh.

My picks? Sharon, Lori, and Mindy.

And Jana has grown on me.

Da da, my friend. Da. Da.

I edited them out. it was 6:30 to 6:31 my time.

And for the record, Jana hurts my everything. <3

You hurt my everything. You're *schto* going to get de-partylined. F'realz.

I also like the sound of the air conditioner...any white noise (such as fans or clothes dryers) are great....and they usually drown out other noises that I don't want to be hearing....


I also hate the sound of bouncing basketballs...haha..it's on par with someone else's bass.....it's so damn annoying and like nothing drowns it out and it's usually (at least in my old neighborhood) accompanied by really loud punk ass kids....

No, I didn't buy a house hahaha....I just used the term loosely, I don't even have a place to live in Rochester yet....

So we were doing that at the same time. *And* I IMed you before I read the post. Thusly, grab a spoon.

And you can't departlyine me. I'm 1/2 of the backbone of the partyline. So ha.

I sleep with the air on even in the winter down here. Any noise can wake me up, & this constant hides some of the sudden noises of apartment living.

Snoring sucks!

- Jake

I love thunderstorms if I'm not trying to sleep. Down here they're big.

- Jake

I grew up with screamers and I cannot be around people who scream. Seriously. It's a deal-breaker if I'm seeing someone.

- Jake

I believe it. I do my best thinking in the shower. (Yes, I shower often. ;) )

- Jake

Good one.

- Jake

I don't buy it. If you REALLY hated them you'd like this sound. :shrug: :angel:

- Jake

Next time I get on the turnpike I won't say hello, I'll just wave to you at the tollbooth, and guess the finger. :wavey:

- Jake

Why should things be different when you sing? :confused:

- Jake

Jana looked pretty good in Houston. She can put her mouth any way she pleases by me. ;) :angel:
